Nelson's Cafe in Universiti Utara Malaysia

I’m taking Franchising Business subject this semester! And, recently I and my group members are doing an assignment regarding to franchise business.

We have to visit one of the franchisee, interview him or her and prepare a report for our lecturer.

We have chosen Nelson’s Café in Universiti Utara Malaysia. Before Hari Raya, we interviewed the franchisee of Nelson’s Café in UUM, Mr. Ooi Ghee Keong.

I believe that many students can’t have their meal in Nelson’s Café after Hari Raya holidays; some people don’t know why they have closed down for many days! Since we’ve interviewed them, so we get to know that their tender contract (2007-2010) of the location in UUM has expired. As a result, they have to stop Nelson’s Café business.

It is a favorite café for some students, for meeting, for group discussion, for gathering and so on! And, now we have no chance to enjoy the foods and beverage served by Nelson’s Café in UUM!

To let more people know more about the history Nelson’s Café in UUM and Nelson’s in Malaysia, I have uploaded my presentation slide to share with everyone!

High Profit or Go Green?

While we are encouraging people to Go Green, reduce plastic bottle, my Entrepreneurship Seminar lecturer encourage us to run a mineral water business which can sell around 1000 mineral water per day with a very high profit margin! (I'm not critiquing but this really makes me angry)

I agreed that the cost is low for a plastic bottle mineral water, but imagine that 1000 wasted bottles per day, 30000 plastic bottles per month! 

It has a big negative impact on the environment, and it is not encourage people to practice eco-friendly! I still stand stand with my opinion, entrepreneurs have the responsibility to take care of the environment, don't you think so?

Maybe my lecturer should change another way, how to innovate the mineral water, make it eco-friendly while it is still profitable...
In my opinion, Environmental Sustainability should be included on entrepreneurship education to create more social responsibility business leaders!
The Impact of climate change is higher than World War! It is about our future, and the future of our next generation! Hence, everyone has the responsibility to take care of the environment! 

The awareness should has more increment, not only "say and know", but the real action to Green it!
